Why would you do that?!

One story I heard during my instructors' course was that of a prominent Israeli Judo practitioner (olympic level possibly) was once introduced to the style of Krav Maga. He was very excited about it to say the least. Especially the gun defenses. So he goes and demonstrate these techniques to his students. With a real gun. Which was loaded.
He's still alive, but man, what an idiot.

I doubt it, but I heard it from a very reliable source who was there when it happened.

Proof? We don't need no stinkin' proof! JK. Doesn't sound that far out for a lot of people in the world. I always like watching gun defense where the "attacker" sticks his finger into the trigger guard...ouch! Broken finger.

Must have been a blast to watch. I wonder if any of the observers were blown away by his skillful demonstration.

It is not a question of why he did it, but will he do it again? He may have thought he was good enough to do it. The true test of his stupidity will be if he tries it again.
